A. Upon the written or oral motion of any party, or on his or her own accord, the Hearings Officer may grant a continuance of the date set for hearing for any good cause. Upon request for continuance, the party requesting continuance shall advise all other parties of the request. The Hearings Officer shall afford all other parties an opportunity the address a request for continuance before granting such motion. If contested, the Hearings Officer shall determine in his or her discretion whether good cause has been presented, taking into due consideration the orderly and efficient administration of such hearings.

B. Upon order of continuance, the Hearings Officer shall determine a new date for hearing not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date of the previously arranged hearing, and shall advise all parties of the new date and time for hearing, and new location, if applicable.

C. The time limits for hearing otherwise established by this Section shall be deemed to be waived by all parties upon issuance of an order of continuance. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
